Catia Goffinet

My name is Catia Goffinet and I am a Brazilian painter based in San Paulo.

My art is immersed in geometric lines combined with mathematical concepts where I work with calculated paintings and at the same time I like the idea of transforming geometric works into movements.

I'm attracted to the idea of being able to give a certain organic movement to my works even using only straight lines.

I always walk through these two universes within my work: calculations (where I paint structured geometric figures) and freedom of movement (where I look for a certain organic movement).

The theme of my paintings varies between the concept of Time, Parallel Universes, Multiverses and about Energy as a concept of Creation and as the force that moves life.

I work with acrylic on canvas and mainly with layers of paint overlaid forming a certain idea of movement and depth.
Sometimes each work has hundreds of overlapping layers. This translates a bit of the idea that everything in the universe happens at the same time.

For me everything in the universe is mathematical.
